Thankful Thursday

1. i have a hot tub in my courtyard. i often forget to go because it's a whole two floors away and it's outside and...it's so nice. last night i put my kindle in a ziploc, popped downstairs and did one cycle of jets while i read and it was lovely. i need to go more often.


2. my cousin D has been visiting Dad on the regular and sending out email updates. she's been a wonderful support and cheerleader.


3. new stationary is delightful. i started a new box of cards today and it is a pleasure to see how ink flows on the new surface. (they came from Kinokuniya and man, the Japanese bookstore has all the best pens and paper goods.)


4. Ritter Sport bars were on sale at Bartells. the cornflakes bar has already been consumed, but there might still be a few squares of marzipan when i get home.


5. my membership in the Washington Kayak Club fb group was approved, and it looks like a deal of casual planning for practice and trips happens there. yay for chances to kayak more.
